on air online live from the new center here in moscow this is egypt's top courts of stop working in a show of solidarity with those protesting against what's being described as a dictator like power grab by the president of one hundred thousand people gathered in cairo according on mohammed morsi to leave after he gave himself authority beyond reach of the courts. is in the egyptian capital. here in the streets of central cairo the sights the sounds and smells of protest and civil disorder very loud and very clear where is just over there and a large crowd of protesters. and the police who are giving just as much back picking up stones themselves and firing back along with them. firing gas canisters into the crowds this tent. of to gas is thick in the air the police

linford house posted a photograph of a burning paper puppy on his facebook page a symbol of remembrance for the soldiers that die in war arrested questioned and held for twenty four hours before being released on bail and we're very worried about people being taken to court for essentially having a fit of bad temper and saying things in an intemperate way i think that's wrong because people start to look over their shoulders and wonder whether they're actually allowed to express the opinions that they're actually hold and also worried about the kind of people who are getting these convictions often they are people with political views and it is a very bad thing when people start to be told that they can say things because their political views are finding others the law used to convict most social media offenses was drafted before twitter and facebook even conceived it was meant to

account. the directory that the us has been on printing money expanding the fed's balance sheet making money free since the financial crisis how some pundits are predicting hyper inflation but a funny thing happened on the way to hyper inflation the u.s. dollar index instead of collapsing has gained value since two thousand and eleven instead of seeing interest rates spike we've seen u.s. treasury yields collapse by over sixty percent since the two thousand and eight crisis to a new record lows and we've seen these trends in the face of public debt that
12:28 pm
continues to mount and a credit rating downgrade in the summer of two thousand and eleven as we were beginning to be loyal to sleep by the constant hum of fiscal cliff warnings we thought it was worth asking whatever happened to hyperinflation we asked peter schiff c.e.o. of your pacific capital and author of the book how an economy grows and why it crashes what about hyperinflation because i just you know this is something that you have been hammering on since two thousand and eight and i know that you're saying you can't predict when this is going to happen but why haven't we seen that happen well you know i guess i still say the hyperinflation is a worst case scenario so i never say that we're going to have it for sure we will have the first sure if we continue to do what we're doing now so which is why you mean that the fed printing money is that what you're basing that on is the fed printing money and government growing and trying to keep interest rates at zero if we keep doing this we will eventually have hyperinflation so my bet is that at some
12:29 pm
point the specter of hyperinflation is so enormous and the dangers are so apparent that will that will change but before we get to that point we're going to have very very high inflation i mean much much higher than anything we had in one nine hundred seventy s. you know whether or not you want to consider that to be hyperinflation if inflation is thirty percent a year or forty percent a year. you know technically is that hyper inflation probably not it's pretty damn high but i think it's going to get that bad before we actually have enough pressure to do something to turn this situation around and believe me by then it's going to be very difficult that would have been much easier if we did it sooner of course because then it's too late i mean nobody wants to deal with that situation then but what about the role of the banking sector because one of the things that you're missing be that the vast majority of money isn't created by the federal reserve but by the banking system which generates loans extends credits and that they haven't been doing that to the same extent that they they did before all the banks are extending a lot of credit.
